Having debuted with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2005, Sidney Crosby is still driving NHL goalies mad.

On Saturday in Newark, New Jersey, in a 2–1 defeat to the host New Jersey Devils that was decided in a shootout, Crosby kept the Penguins in the hunt right up until the game’s final shot at Prudential Center. Pittsburgh’s captain made his presence felt in his team’s lone score of the day. In what was a battle for possession of first place in the NHL’s Metropolitan Division, Crosby chipped in for the Penguins’ lone score that came in the second period.
